I have won the prize for investing in the wrong people, on more than one occasion. Maybe I am too trusting, too caring, too kind — maybe just too naive.
I believe in the goodness of the human spirit, yet I get let down, more often that not. However, I must learn to move on, and focus on my mission. I must do the right thing for the right reason, and find and reward the right people.
Business would be so much easier if people were not part of the equation. Till the magic potion appears, I must invest in professionals with a high degree of emotional intelligence, and a passion for our cause.
So true and hard to not give people the benefit of doubt, especially when it’s in your nature to want to help people!
